RCMP increase their presence around schools every September, and those safety measures will be particularly important in northwestern P.E.I., where a man accused of attacking a woman and a teen with a sword remains at large.
Police are warning residents of Prince Edward Island not to believe everything they see on social media as the search for the Seacow Pond sword attacker continues.
Photos including a banner with a child's name, age, grade and school tend to pop up on social media feeds around this time of the year. The RCMP says the pictures are not as harmless as some parents would think.
